Controller Support
The list that follows includes support information for Automation1 2.7 and newer and Automation1 2.6 and older.
-
Automation1 2.7 and newer: The HP Elite Tower 600 G9 requires INtime 7, which is automatically installed by the Automation1 iSMC installer if INtime is not currently on the PC.
-
Automation1 2.6 and older: The HP Elite Tower 600 G9 can have problems because of the version of INtime that comes with Automation1 2.6 and older. Contact Aerotech Global Technical Support for instructions on how to manually apply a custom INtime 7 upgrade so that this PC works with Automation1.
Windows Support
- Automation1 was tested with the HP Elite Tower 600 G9 to make sure it works with Windows 11.
- By default, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is enabled on Windows 11 configurations. You must disable TPM and all of the features that depend on it, such as BitLocker and drive encryption, so that Automation1 has good real-time performance.
Configuration Tested by Aerotech
The list that follows includes information to take note of when purchasing the HP Elite Tower 600 G9.
-
Intel 12th generation processors can contain P-cores (Performance-cores) and E-cores (Efficient-cores). If you select an i5, i7, or i9 processor with E-cores, you must disable the E-cores in the BIOS so that you can use the PC with Automation1.
-
You can select a different amount of RAM. But, make sure that you order two RAM sticks so that you can use both CPU memory channels.
-
You can customize the size of your SSD.
-
Integrated Intel UHD Graphics 770 gives you better real-time performance than a dedicated graphics card.
